I have been taking pictures since I was a young teen but had never attempted to show any until about fifty years ago when I started entering some local photo contests. I like nature photography the most, but dabble in many other things as well. Most shown here have been taken with either a hand held Nikon 5100, Nikon D60, Nikon 8700, or Nikon 5700 with an occasional use of a monopod. I am now past 85, and still shoot handheld most of the time.
